We had Chiesa up front in the first half and then brought on Milik who was treated like a bitch by Acerbi as he struggled to hold the ball up. Players like Milik and Vlahovic should be strong enough to hold the ball up for us.
This goes way beyond technical or tactical capabilities. We didn’t show up, literally. Sitting deep without any desire to push forward. This makes a striker’s job an impossible job; how many balls did Chiesa touch this game? Di Maria dribbling 3 men to pass it to a team mate who then casually turns and passes it back. Milik was only served in the air, he barely got any balls played in his feet.
more than anything, what was the need to experiment with a new attacking partnership in a Coppa Italia semi-final against these scum. What’s the need to play Bonucci, who hasn’t seen the pitch in 4 months, and bench your most inform defenders Gatti and Danilo. Why play Miretti who’s been trash and not start with a midfield that at last started to resemble like something worthy (Loca, Fagioli, Rabiot).
this game literally left me baffled, not because of the loss because that can always happen but by how we showed up to the game and our approach during. Fuck, we were still passing it sideways in the last minute as if we were playing a friendly.
